From John Baynes (unpublished)
Friday, September 26, [1783]
Sir

I have not till this morning been able to find any gentleman who was going to England. Mr. Dagge however has this moment informed me, that he has an opportunity of conveying a letter by an acquaintance, the son of General Dalling, who will set of tomorrow. I fear you will by this time have sent by some other conveyance the letter you mentioned—however, lest you should not, I take the liberty of informing you that if it be sent to Mr. Dagge today, it will certainly be forwarded.

I am, with all respect, Sir, Your most obedient and obliged humble Servant

John Baynes.

Chez Mr. Boulnois, Ruë Neuve Ste. Généviéve. [Postscript:] Mr. Dagge is at the hotel d’Hamburgh, Rue Jacobe.
Addressed: A Monsieur / Monsieur Franklin / Ambassadeur pour les Americains en son Hôtel a Passy.
